Slow Down Rockets

Tricks you can play with rockets.

The slow rocket homing glitch is one of the most interactive glitches discovered by the Halo community. Using this technique, you can decrease the speed of the projectile launched from the Rocket Launcher. This allows you to launch a rocket and then let it chase you around the map. Normally this would be impossible because the rocket would simply destroy you. However, this glitch allows your vehicle to outrun the rocket.

First, get a partner on the opposing team to drive a vehicle of some sort—the faster the better. As with the circling rockets hack [Hack #48] this glitch is easier to reproduce with a high look-sensitivity setting. Now with your rocket ready, lock on to the vehicle and hold the right trigger. Look directly up—at a 90-degree angle to the ground—and release the trigger (see Figures 5-31 and 5-32).
